So the electronic arts 2 folder is a copy of the EA folder on my external hard drive. I guess I "made a copy" should I delete that? Or would that not corrupt the save.

It's not a copy, that little arrow indicates it is a shortcut/alias. It is merely pointing towards a folder called Electronic Arts 2. Can you post a screenshot of the original folder, clearly showing the location?

The game won't even be reading that folder, let alone writing any data to it.
